Donald Trump’s big revelation: Had called Benjamin Netanyahu ‘mad’ on phone regarding Hezbollah war, told the real reason
US President Donald Trump is known for his outspoken and unfiltered style. Recently, in an exclusive interview given to ‘New York Post’, Trump has said many such things regarding the Middle East crisis, which has sparked a new debate in global diplomacy. Trump admitted that he had called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ‘crazy’ on the phone. The main reason behind this heated conversation was that Trump feels that Israel’s ongoing war against Hezbollah in Lebanon is becoming the biggest obstacle in the way of possible peace talks with Iran. Trump was very angry that diplomatic efforts were not succeeding due to the prolongation of the war. Relationships remain strong despite stress: "We are both wartime leaders"
Despite acknowledging the tension over the phone call, the US President made it clear that his personal and strategic relationship with Netanyahu remains very strong. There is a good coordination between the two leaders. During the interview, Trump praised Netanyahu and said:
"We have done great work together in the past. I like Bibi (Benjamin Netanyahu) personally very much and it is always comfortable working with him. In fact, both of us are ‘wartime’ leaders, so we understand each other’s situations better."
Trump’s real concern: Impact on US elections and global markets. If seen seriously, Trump’s displeasure is not just about the breakdown of peace talks, but there are deep economic and political reasons hidden behind it. Trump knows very well that the longer the war in the Middle East continues, the faster the prices of crude oil and energy will rise in the global market. This economic uncertainty is affecting America’s domestic market, due to which the Republican Party may have to suffer heavy losses in the upcoming elections. This is the reason why the US administration is pressurizing both Tehran and Jerusalem to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Strait of Hormuz and Labor Day Deadline When Trump was asked in an interview when the ongoing standoff in the Gulf region would end, he did not give any specific date, but did give an important diplomatic signal. You can understand the equations of the current oil supply crisis and negotiations from the table given below: Mojtaba Khamenei and the latest air attack in Beirut Another shocking claim has come to light in this entire incident. Trump said that Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei himself is currently taking command of peace talks behind the scenes. According to Trump, Khamenei is not completely healthy due to injuries sustained in an attack recently, but despite this he is giving his approval to the proposals related to the peace process. However, this claim of Trump has not yet been confirmed by any independent international agency. On the other hand, the firing of gunpowder at the ground level has not reduced amid diplomatic talks. Just before the second round of peace talks between Israel and Lebanon in Washington, Israeli warplanes carried out a deadly attack targeting a moving car on a busy highway south of the Lebanese capital Beirut. This attack clearly shows that even after sitting at the negotiating table, both the countries are in no mood to reduce military pressure on each other.
